The HP 3565S measurement
hardware combined with application software and a host computer
forms a high performance multichannel measurement system.
The hardware acquires signals in
both time and frequency domains
and is easily configured for large
multiple input, multiple output
measurements.
System characteristics include:
• Signal acquisition and processing up to 102.4 kHz
• Host-independent—interfaces to
any computer that supports the
IEEE-488 interface.
•Up to 496 input channels
• 102.4 kHz realtime bandwidth
• Display updates of 64 spectra/sec
•Throughput to disk rate of
2.6 Mbytes/sec via SCSI interface
•Buffered analog output for tape
recorders
• Built-in preamps for piezoelectric and integrated electronics
piezo electric transducers
System performance depends
on the application software
used to control the hardware.
Specifications in this data sheet
denote guaranteed performance
of the hardware when controlled
by appropriate software.
System description
The HP 3565S measurement
hardware includes either a single,
4-slot, HP 35650B mainframe or
from 1 to 8 interconnected
HP 35650A mainframes. Each
HP 35650A mainframe contains
8 module slots for a possible
system total of 64 slots. Nine
different of modules can used to
build a system:
• Signal processing module
• 51.2 kHz input module
• 102.4 kHz input module
• 4-channel 12.8 kHz input module
• 8-channel 12.8 kHz input module
• 102.4 kHz source module
• Programmable DAC module
• Tachometer/Trigger module
•SCSI throughput module
Each system must contain one
signal processing module. The
remaining slots may contain
a combination of the other
modules. Module configuration
requirements depend on
application software.
NOTE: Internal calibration of the
hardware requires either a 102.4 kHz
source module or a programmable
DAC module.
NOTE: HP 35635R software supports
multiple synchronized systems
controlled by one host computer.
(The HP 35635R Programmer Toolkit
software is described on page 23.)
A high-speed system bus
provides communication between
mainframes and modules. Data
transfer between the host computer and the signal processing
module takes place via an HP-IB
(IEEE-488) interface.

Using Application Software with the HP 3565S
Application software may interact
with the HP 3565S hardware in a
variety of ways. One method is to
access the measurement hardware through an established user
interface such as the HP 3566A
and 3567A PC-based Spectrum/
Network Analyzer software.
Another method is to work with
command libraries available
through the HP 35635R Programmers Toolkit. This method
increases measurement speed
and allows highly customized
measurements. It also requires
significant programming effort on
the part of the user.
The table below shows compatibility between HP 3565S hardware and various application
software products. For information on hardware compatibility
with application software available from third party vendors
contact your Hewlett-Packard
sales representative.

While the HP 35651C and
HP 35654B perform identical
functions, there are two major
differences between the modules.
The HP 35651C has one Motorola
56002 digital signal processing
(DSP) chip and 1 Mbyte of RAM
(4 or 16 Mbytes of RAM are
available by ordering option 104
or 116). The HP 35654B has two
HP-IB
Motorola 56002 DSP chips and
4 Mbytes of memory (16 Mbytes
are available by ordering option
116). The additional DSP chip
gives the HP 35654B the capability of greater signal processing
speed. This added capability is
only accessible through application software that accesses the
extra DSP chip.

modules have the same features.
The HP 3565S measurement hardware can acquire data from the
HP 35652A/B input modules at an
internal sample rate of 262,144 Hz
per channel. Additional features
include:
• Three input modes: voltage,
charge and IEPE 4 mA
constant-current
• Anti-alias protection on
all spans
• Auto-ranging
• Digital zoom capability on all
spans and all ranges
• 80 dB dynamic range*
•Input data may be transferred
directly to HP 35659A SCSI
interface with optional AT3
disk drive.
• Full scale voltage ranges
from 1.26 mVpk to 39.8 Vpk
in 2 dB steps
• Full scale charge ranges
from 0.126 pC to 3980 pC
in 2 dB steps
* The HP 35652B has 80 dB of dynamic
range at frequencies below 50 kHz.

Input Module Autozero modes:
(HP 35652A/B and HP 35655A/B)
ZEROcompensates for offsets with the input hardware.
OFSadjusts the input so that fixed offset voltage at the input produces a
measurement with a zero dc input.
INPmeasures the dc value of the input at the time of the autozero and attempts
to adjust the front-end to reduce that dc value to zero.
BUCKOUTApplies an independent dc offset voltage of up to ±10 V to the
(HP 35655A/BBNC shell. Intended for use with 2.4 mA constant-current input mode.
ONLY)
NOTE: In Buckout mode, the user is
causing the module to “buckout” the
dc offset of the signal going into the
HP 35655A/B. This is done by putting
a voltage on the “minus” (BNC shell)
input, so that the dc offset on the
“plus” input is near zero. The “plus”
input is then measured. The “minus”
input is kept at a low impedance,
much like the grounded input mode,
so that common mode signals will
not introduce inaccuracies into the
measurement.

HP 35655A 8-Channel Input Module
HP 35655B 4-Channel Input Module
The HP 35655A provides eight
separate analog input channels
in one plug-in module. The
HP 35655B provides four separate
analog input channels in one
plug-in module. Aside from the
channel count, the two modules
have the same specifications.
Each input channel is sampled
simultaneously. The maximum
span is 12.8 kHz. While input
circuitry for each channel is
separate, hardware for digital
filtering, zooming, and trigger
detection and delay is common to
all eight inputs. Thus, parameters
such as measurement span and
trigger delay are the same for all
channels.
Other module features include:
• Two input modes: voltage and
IEPE constant-current
• Full scale input ranges from
5 mV to 10 V in 2 dB steps
• Anti-alias protection on all spans
• Auto-ranging
• Digital zoom capability on all
channels and all spans
• 72 dB dynamic range
•Buffered analog output on all
input channels
* NOTE: The IEPE mode provides a
2.4 mA constant current supply for
transducers. To operate with the
HP 35655A module, IEPE transducers
must be isolated from ground.

The HP 35655A module comes
with one eight-input BNC breakout box (6 ft cable), one eightoutput BNC breakout box for the
analog outputs and a rack mount
kit (HP 35655-00200). Option 905
substitutes microdot breakout
boxes.
An HP 46298C 1600mm rack is
recommended to house rackmountable breakout boxes for
HP 35655A input modules. An
HP 46298C rack can hold up to 16
rack panels (equivalent to 256
channels). A special eight vertical
slot rack kit (HP 35655-C02) is
also available.

HP 35658A Tachometer/Trigger Module
The HP 35658A tachometer/
trigger module provides tach and
triggering information for use
with digital order tracking and
resampling software.The module
uses a 20 MHz counter to record
accurate tach or trigger times.
It can also be use to externally
trigger other measurements.
• Tachometer/trigger signal
conditioning
• Programmable tach/trigger levels
• Hysteresis to prevent false
tachs/triggers
• Trigger sources: time internal,
RPM internal, (run-up or
run-down), external
The HP 35659A module provides
high-speed throughput capability
for the HP 3565S system. Bypassing the signal processor module,
it takes data from the internal
high- speed system bus and
transfers it directly to selected
Small Computer System Interface
(SCSI) compatible mass-storage
devices or to an optional internal
hard disk. The module supports
trans-fer rates up to 2.6 MBytes/
sec (1.3 Msamples per sec).
The actual data transfer rate
is typically limited by the
storage device.
Features include:
•“Eavesdrop” mode takes data
directly from the system bus
while the signal processor module
uses its HP-IB connection for
other tasks.
• Monitor capability allows data
to be viewed during the
throughput session.
•Read mode takes data from
SCSI compatible devices and
puts it on the internal systembus
for the signal processor module
to process.
